Florence downgraded from Category 4 to Category 2.

Does this mean that residents of the Carolinas need not fear any worse hurricanes in their future?

What happened to increasing frequency and intensity will be the new norm?

Is 'manmade c*****e c****e' on vacation?

Maria At Puerto Rico, A Cat 4

Zero Cat 5's To Make Landfall Since 1977

Name Dates as a Category 5 Areas affected

Edith September 9, 1971 The Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, United States

Until Flo This Year
There Was 1 Tropical Storm And
1 Sub-Tropical Depression To Make Landfall

How Does G****l W*****g Theology Explain
Storms Getting Weaker And Less Frequent

This is one storm, in one ocean... what is your guess???

2018 Pacific hurricane season
Event
Image result for pacific tropical storms 2018
The 2018 Pacific hurricane season is an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season officially began on May 15 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the central Pacific; they will both end on November 30. Wikipedia
Location: Pacific Ocean
Total storms: 16, 1 unofficial
Total depressions: 18, 1 unofficial
First system formed: May 10, 2018
Last system dissipated: Season ongoing
Major hurricanes (Cat. 3+): 6
Total fatalities: 5 total

Must be. I live in tornado alley, and we made it through spring, and summer without a single tornado warning, or hail storm. Strange for here.
Maybe the climate is changing for the better.

It Doesn't Matter The Strength Of A Storm
Over Deep Blue-Water Oceans
As They Break-Down Over Continental Shelves And Reefs
Or Spin Themselves Out Over Empty Water

Is That Why There's Only 5 Fatalities ??

The Atlantic Is Not As Vast As The Pacific
These Systems Come Off Africa And Head Straight For Us
G****l W*****g Was To Make Storms Stronger And More Frequent
Yet, They're Becoming Weaker And Less Frequent
We've Been, On Average, In A Hurricane Drought Since Katrina

Flo Dropped To A Cat 2
As Soon As It Hit The Edge Of The Continental Shelf
With Any Luck, This Won't Be A Hurricane At All At Landfall

The wind speed makes no difference to the storm surge or volume of water that's dumped.

woodguru

Again...the downgrade in class refers only to wind speed, not storm surge or rain dumped

Do you want more fatalities? blame the early warning and pr********n because of our science that helps predict the weather.. You do believe in science???

But as we dabble in the world of storms and watch Virginia and the Carolina s get all wet, we should not overlook the big storm also going on today..

Hitting the Philippians about now, as the our east coast has to buckle up, a record setting typhoon finds a home in the Philippians..

Must be c*****e c****e...

In a past post, I POd half of OPP by bringing up a report that the shortage of hurricanes this year was because the ice melt in the arctic was sending a great amount of ice bergs into the African area and cooling the water.
That in turn shutting down the formation of tropical depressions and hence hurricanes.

Some got up in arms about that information, but it remains a very probable explanation for this being the result of g****l w*****g.. as always..

It Does
One major cause of hurricane damage is storm surge. Storm surge is the rising of the sea level due to the
low pressure, high winds, and high waves associated with a hurricane

http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/hurr/damg/surg.rxml

High Wind Circulation Causes Low Pressure In The Eye
Drawing The Water Surface Up Towards The Eye
Lower Winds Relieve The Pressure
Last Is Saw, Flo's Storm Surge Was About 10ft
100mi Off Shore

I'm Not Talking About Just This Year

I'm Talking About Over The Past More Than A Decade
So When's This Climate Armageddon Going To Happen
The Time Keeps Getting Pushed Further & Further Out
Like Cultists Trying To Predict The Second Coming

And No Cat 5 Has Made Landfall Since 1977
Anywhere In N. America
There Were 5 From Just 1960 To That Time
Why'd They Stop Before The AGW Hysteria ??

Just Curious
What Were These Storms Rankings When They Made Landfall
They All Get Names, Don't They ??

I'm Looking At This:

Jebi Is Strongest I See
And The Reports Cite Gusts Reaching 125mph
At Land Fall
Not Maximum Sustained Winds Of The System
So These Aren't Cat 5 Either

Flo Has Gusts To 125
And Sustained Winds Of 100
Flo Is Currently A Cat 2

The extreme heatwaves and wildfires wreaking havoc around the globe are “the face of c*****e c****e,” one of the world’s leading climate scientists has declared, with the impacts of g****l w*****g now “playing out in real time.”

C*****e c****e has long been predicted to increase e*****e w*****r incidents, and scientists are now confident these predictions are coming true. Scientists say the g****l w*****g has contributed to the scorching temperatures that have baked the UK and northern Europe for weeks.

The hot spell was made more than twice as likely by c*****e c****e, a new analysis found, demonstrating an “unambiguous” link.

E*****e w*****r has struck across Europe, from the Arctic Circle to Greece, and across the world, from North America to Japan. “This is the face of c*****e c****e,” said Prof Michael Mann, at Penn State University, and one the world’s most eminent climate scientists. “We literally would not have seen these extremes in the absence of c*****e c****e.”

“The impacts of c*****e c****e are no longer subtle,” he told the Guardian. “We are seeing them play out in real time and what is happening this summer is a perfect example of that.”

The past year has been a busy one for hurricanes.

There were 17 named storms in 2017, 10 hurricanes and six major hurricanes (category 3 or higher) - an above average year in each respect.

The 10 hurricanes formed consecutively, without weaker tropical storms interrupting the sequence.

The only other time this has been recorded was in 1893.

Are these storms getting worse? And does c*****e c****e have anything to do with it?

A year of records
This Atlantic hurricane season has been particularly bad.

There was Harvey, which pummelled the United States in August.

It brought the largest amount of rain on record from any tropical system - 1,539mm.

It caused the sort of flooding you'd expect to see once every 500 years, causing $200bn of damage to Houston, Texas.

Ironically, this was the third such "one every 500 years" flood Houston had suffered in three years.

September brought Irma, which devastated Caribbean communities. It was the joint second strongest Atlantic hurricane ever, with sustained winds of 185mph.

Those winds were sustained for 37 hours - longer than any tropical system on record, anywhere in the world.

Next came Hurricane Maria - another category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 175mph - which destroyed Puerto Rico's power grid.

Finally, Hurricane Ophelia span past Portugal and Spain - the farthest east any major Atlantic hurricane has ever gone.

There have been 33 of the strongest category 5 hurricanes since 1924. Eleven of these have occurred in the past 14 years.
